Scooby-Doo woke up the next day, and walked down the stairs to find Shaggy eating pancakes. "Like, Scoob, do you want to see who can out-eat each other?" asked Shaggy. "You're ron, Shraggy" said Scooby as the two began eating up as many pancakes as they could. After eating their fifty-six helpings of pancakes, the two walked out and saw Fred waiting in the Mystery Machine for them. "Hurry, Shaggy and Scooby! We've got another mystery to solve" said Fred. "Like again, Fred? Didn't we just solve one yesterday?" said Shaggy. "We did, but we didn't get to test out one of my trap ideas" said Fred. Shaggy looked down at Scooby and said "Like, Scoob, are you ready to solve another mystery?" "Ruh-ruh" said Scooby as he shook his head. "Like me neither, but are we even given a choice?" said Shaggy as they both got in the Mystery Machine.
When they got to the museum, they found police cars and cops all over the place. "How many times have I told you kids, stay out of police business?" said Sheriff Bronson Stone. "You have to ask Velma that question, she's the one keeping track" said Freddy as he walked past the Sheriff and into the museum. The museum was one filled with many rare artifacts, but most importantly, there was a recent exhibit with medieval torture devices. When they got to that wing, everything was all cleared out. "Wow, everything's gone" said Daphne as she looked around. "Not only that, whoever did this has stolen all of the costumes in our museum as well" said Velma's mother as she came on the scene. "Mom? What are you doing here?" asked Velma. "Oh, just looking for some ideas for our next exhibit. But, when I unlocked our haunted museum, all of the costumes were missing. All that whoever did this left behind this note" said Velma's mom as she handed the note to Mystery Inc.
The gang looked at the note, and they say of what it read:
Dear Mystery Inc.;
We've escaped, and we're after you. Meet us in three days at Crystal Cove peak. Come alone, and don't bring the police. We're watching you.
Signed,
Everyone that you've unmasked.
Mystery Inc. was speechless as they read the note. Everyone that they'd unmasked? "Uh, Velma, just how many villains did we unmask?" asked Daphne. "It should be in the hundreds by now" said Velma. "Like, zoinks, this has got to be like the worst nightmare ever" said Shaggy as he shivered. Scooby was in his arms, with his paws wrapped around Shaggy's neck.
All of this shivering was waking up the entity deep within Scooby's mind, so he got up and flew up to the upper subconscious part of Scooby. He heard "Let's split up gang. They must have left behind some clues." "What's a clue?" wondered the entity as he climbed up to the conscious part of Scooby's mind. He watched Shaggy from Scooby's mind as the two walked around the museum. "Like, Scoob, do you think that we'll find anything?" asked Shaggy. "Ri rope rot" said Scooby as he began sniffing around. The entity shook his head, then went down to the subconscious part of Scooby and began looking deeper within his memories. He watched Scooby and his human friends solve lots of mysteries as he probed his memories, and felt feelings of fear, courage, joy, friendship, and many other feelings that he was unfamiliar with. The entity even felt one of his own feelings that didn't have a name, so he stopped watching the memories, and tried to explain his own feeling. It took the entity a full hour to identify what this unknown feeling was: loneliness. "Am I really alone? Was I alone when the war started on…" thought the entity, but couldn't remember where he came from. He knew that he came from a planet that wasn't Earth, but he couldn't remember where. He heard somebody say "I found a clue!" and the entity looked up. It decided to investigate what was going on, so he shape-shifted back to his jet-like form and watch what was going on outside of Scooby's mind.
"I found a clue, gang" said Freddy as he held up a feather. "Professor Pericles!" announced the gang. "Looks like that he's been the one to break everybody out of prison" said Velma. "Look gang, another clue!" said Daphne as she found some puddles of salt water on the floor. "Like zoinks, what came by here?" said Shaggy in a nervous voice. "I don't know, but let's follow them" said Fred as the gang followed the puddles. The puddles led outside, and the gang managed to follow the puddles until it led them to Crystal Cove. "Like wow, it seems as if whoever made these puddles like came out of the ocean" said Shaggy. "Or, whoever went back in" said Velma as she inspected a second set of puddles, but they were smaller than the first. "Whoever made these puddles came out of the ocean, and then went back in" said Velma.
"There must be clues to what came out of the sea, gang. Let's look for clues" said Freddy as the gang searched different parts of the beach for clues. They were looking around the beach when Shaggy and Scooby found some little plums. "Look Scoob! Looks like somebody forgot to eat these little plums. Well, better not let them go to waste" said Shaggy when Velma said "Wait Shaggy! Don't eat that clue!" "Like huh?" said Shaggy. Velma approached him and said "Those are Beach Plums. They're not native to Crystal Cove. Whoever brought these here must have come here from the North American states on the Atlantic coasts' beaches." "Beach Plums?" said Shaggy. Velma picked up a few, and put them away for further testing. She wanted to try to analyze them from which states that they came from.
The rest of the gang didn't find anything, except for the puddles. "Let's call it a night, and we'll resume this case tomorrow" said Freddy as the rest of the gang agreed with him. They all headed home, and Scooby was in his room getting ready for bed. He fell asleep on his bed, and began to dream.
Scooby was dreaming that he was in outer space, and he was on some sort of gigantic spaceship. He walked around until he heard some metallic footsteps. He hid in the shadows of one of the steel beams as he saw to gigantic robots pass by him. His teeth chattered like a pair of maracas, when one of the robots turned to his friend and said "Do you hear that?" "Yeah, it sounds like a part of the Nemesis is acting up" said the other.
The robots looked around, and one of them spotted Scooby. "Looks like one of those disgusting organic creatures has boarded the ship again" said one robot. "Let's squash it" said the other as Scooby yelped, then ran as fast as he could. The two robots were chasing after Scooby, until the dog ran into a room. Both robots stopped short, and then both of them looked at each other. "Do you want to go in first?" asked one. "I'm not going in there" said the other.
Scooby was panting hard, until he heard a deep growl, then felt the floor shake. He looked up to find two bright red eyes glowing in the darkness, before the owner of them stepped out. The monster had a large metallic body, with very sharp teeth, long claws, and very pointy battle armor. He roared in anger, as Scooby screamed.
"RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA A!" screamed Scooby as he woke up from his nightmare. He placed a paw over his heart as he thought about his nightmare. Scooby wasn't the only one who had that dream as the entity had the same dream as well, but he was the monster looking down at the dog. "What a weird dream" thought the entity as he heard Shaggy coming up the stairs and asked "Like Scoob, what happened?" "Rah ronster rhas rin rhi reams, Shraggy! Rhit rhad rig reeth, rand rhas rheally rhig!" exclaimed Scooby as fast as he could. "Weird, I could actually understand him" thought the entity as Shaggy said "Well, like a big breakfast could cure your bad dreams. Like, want to see who could eat the most?" "Rhour rhon" said Scooby as he followed Shaggy down the stairs.
For breakfast today, the both of them were seeing how much bacon, waffles, and toast they could eat. The entity inside Scooby's head thought "Those two must have the most disgusting eating habits that I have ever seen." This caused the entity to think on what he used to eat, but he couldn't remember.
Some time after breakfast, the two were with the Mystery Machine as Velma told the gang on what she learned about the mysterious Beach Plums. "I did an analysis of them and as it turns out, those Beach Plums came from an area known as Plum Island" she said. "Like, can we eat them?" asked Shaggy. She turned to both Shaggy and Scooby and said "Actually, it's a good thing that the two of you didn't eat them. Those plums were covered in many unknown diseases. If the two of you ate them, the both of you would have died." Shaggy and Scooby then gulped, as the Mystery Machine pulled up to the Crystal State Prison to start their investigation on how all of the criminals escaped.
The gang entered inside, and they saw a massive amount of destruction done to the place. "Like wow, what happened man?" said Shaggy. One of the guards came up to him and said "You won't believe this, but a jet came by and crashed into the wall there. And…something came out of it and tossed these little vials at the guards" he said. "May we talk with them?" asked Daphne. "I'm afraid that's impossible" said the guard. "How so?" asked Fred. "Well…" said the guard before a number of medics passed by them with stretches that had body bags. "That's why" said the guard. The gang looked horrified as they realized that this case had gotten a lot scarier than previous cases.
The gang began to search the prison (they had to wear bio-hazard suits) for clues. Shaggy and Scooby took to exploring the cells of the prison, Velma went to investigate the hole in the wall, and Freddy and Daphne went to investigate the grounds outside the prison.
"Like Scoob, how come we never get to investigate the kitchen of any spooky place that we've ever visited?" said Shaggy. "Rhi ron't row, reither" said Scooby. They checked the cells, but they couldn't find anything that would qualify as a clue…except for the keyholes on the prison bars. "Like Scoob, take a look here" said Shaggy as he looked at a keyhole. Scooby looked closer at it, and sure enough, it was broken. Whatever had broken it must have been very strong, or had a master key to open it. Shaggy and Scooby continued to investigate the other cells, until they got to the very last one. In the last one, there was a weird-looking key in the keyhole. Shaggy removed it, and took a good look at it. It looked like a very old key from the 1700's, with some tiny computerized equipment attached to the key. "Like, it looks like that we've found out how all of these cells were opened" said Shaggy. "Rhea" said Scooby. "Come on, let's go find the gang" said Shaggy as he headed for the main floor of the prison.
Velma was having her own adventures investigating the hole. She had found parts of the jet (they were made by Lockheed,) more beach plums, and some vials scattered about the site. She had also found part of a stilt that was broken found among the wreckage. These clues were weird, but they were collected nonetheless. Velma had to do lots of investigating to find out how all of these clues would fit together.
Outside the prison, on the grounds, both Freddy and Daphne were searching for clues. So far, they found nothing that would resemble a clue. Little that they knew, they were being watched.
Within the trees, a figure wearing a cloak was watching both Daphne and Freddy search the prison grounds. With his beady eyes, he watched them search the grounds. "So, Mystery Inc., I have finally have met you. Don't think that you'll win this one; because you'll face your end" the figure croaked, before he vanished into the shadows of the trees.
Author's Note: Can you guess the cloaked figure? I based him off of a famous cryptid swimming around Long Island (I live there, but not in the locations where he was spotted.)
